Shin Lim on Tour

Catching Shin Lim in the act is unlike watching any other magician perform. Instead of making people disappear or sawing them in half, he simply concentrates on card tricks. But he raises the level of his sleight of hand with a deck of cards to a fine art. 

There's drama, music, and a kind of a ballet to Lim's magic. And he's known for performing his illusions without uttering a word, letting his hands and his cards do all the talking while his carefully curated music — Lim started out as a musician — tickles the audience's ears. If you've seen him in one of his many television appearances, be it Penn & Teller: Fool Us, America's Got Talent, or Jimmy Kimmel Live, then you've experienced only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a Shin Lim live performance.

Shin Lim Background

Born in Vancouver to Singaporean parents and raised in Massachusetts, Shin Lim had two passions in his youth: music and magic. He was studying music in college when he learned that he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. This discovery caused him to abandon playing the piano in favor of becoming a professional magician. 

He got one of his first big breaks when he was given the chance to tour in China. Since he didn't speak the language, he kept silent during his tricks, and that practice became a signature of his shows. Bringing a bold, unprecedented artistry to the realm of card tricks, Lim really began to hit it big when he worked his magic on TV's Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2015. The performance became a social media sensation that elevated his profile dramatically. Since then, he's frequently appeared on TV, twice becoming a winner on America's Got Talent. And he tours widely, taking his illusions everywhere from Las Vegas to Broadway.

    Mind Boggling Magic and Mentalism

    by Pam on 1/21/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Shin Lim and Colin Cloud put on a thoroughly entertaining show. There are not enough words to express my wonder and disbelief at the amazing things that I saw. I love magic and have seen many world-class magicians, and after seeing this show I would consider Shin Lim my favorite. Shin Lim is in a category by himself in the skill and creativity of his tricks. His style makes it seem so easy, yet one can only wonder at the thousands of hours spent perfecting each move. He is mesmerizing. His sleight of hand is impeccable and his ability to tell a story with his magic is captivating. Colin Cloud was a perfect accompaniment to the show, and the two played off of each other very well. Mr. Cloud has really perfected his act from his days on America's Got Talent and I am still trying to figure out how he "reads minds"to such a specific, accurate level. The Mirage Theater is beautiful and relatively small, providing an intimate setting even for those sitting towards the back. This show is worth every penny (actually it is worth more than the price of the tickets) and I highly recommend seeing it if you have the opportunity.

    by Clay on 1/17/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Definitely worth it

    by JS on 1/14/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    It may have started a little slow but boy, did it ultimately deliver. It was a combo of Shin Lim sleight of hand and mentalist Colin Cloud. Both had several tricks that were really amazing. Nice to see people working at the top of their craft. Would highly recommended.

    Shin Lim

    by KLL on 1/9/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    His magic was amazing. Just needs to work on his stage delivery. It was quite boring at times. Colin Cloud was fantastic and added to the excitement that Shin was missing.

    Fantastic Show

    by Greg G on 1/3/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Highly recommend this show. Shin and Cloud are fantastic and the tricks are unbelievable and amazing. My only complaint is the seats are somewhat uncomfortable.

    Excellent show

    by jg on 1/2/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    The show was AWESOME! It was engaging and entertaining. It was longer than I expected-about 1.5 hours. His counterpart, Colin was also funny and great, too.

    Best show in Vegas

    by Cae on 1/2/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    We went to three different shows while in Vegas and this show was by far the best one. It was absolutely incredible and SO well done. Very easy to follow but also totally mind blowing. Would highly highly recommend anyone to see this show! Colin cloud was also phenomenal!

    Amazing Shin Lim

    by Nellie on 12/31/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Amazing magic with 3 big screens to give everyone close up view. I liked the storylines that made the show interesting and told Shin’s life. Shin and Colin were a great complement as the show moved quickly.

    I'm glad that I went to see the amazing Shin Lim

    by Ken H on 12/30/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    I'm kinda skeptical when it comes to magic. It's up there with the likes of Santa and the Tooth Fairy. The expression "Seeing is believing"really applies here, however. The entertainers were engaging and riveting. I was absolutely stunned! Go see this show! A packed auditorium cannot lie!

    Excellent show, highly recommended

    by Christine Z. on 12/29/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Shin Lim’s show offers smart combination of magic, music and stage lighting. Shin Lim’s close-up magic is simply magical. The show’s theme “limitless” and the story behind is inspiring. I would highly recommend this show to everyone.

    A different kind of magic show

    by Wes Pratt on 12/28/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    It's a great show. Suitable for all family members. Shin's up close sleight of hand is fantastic. One minor quibble. Shin is a soft spoken person. Many times during the show he is speaking and then is music playing. Shin's mic needs to be turned up 10% or the music needs to be dialed down down 10%. Highly recommend.

    Excellent Christmas gift

    by Sparkly mom and daughter on 12/28/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    My 10 year old daughter has loved Shin Lim since AGT so we got tickets to see his show for Christmas this year, it was a great experience, and Colin Cloud was just as great. Would absolutely recommend!

    Fun experience…

    by Gottselig5 on 12/27/23The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    It was a fun experience that we mostly enjoyed. Seeing a magic show was something out of the ordinary for us- however Colin Cloud had the personality of the show. He was funny and entertaining. Shin Lim had fun tricks but was quite reserved.
